Upper West Side One-Bedroom Retreat!

You have arrived! The perfect city retreat or second residence, #8C is a recently renovated one-bedroom oasis in a full service boutique building; where residents enjoy a friendly attentive staff punctuated by a dedicated elevator-attendant. Upon entry, the spacious foyer and 9 1/2-foot ceilings welcome you, while the northwestern exposure floods the space with natural light and picturesque views of St. Paul and St. Andrew Church.

Every detail has been carefully considered to provide comfort, with seamless appreciation to the original pre-war design. The oversized dimensions of the grand common room allows for numerous configurations that include a dining table and new heat omitting decorative fireplace, making the space ideal for entertaining. In addition to a precision restoration of the walls and molding, the home’s electrical system has been completely modernized; and stylish wall sconces carefully mounted, to help create a cheerful evening ambiance.

No area overlooked, the kitchen has been outfitted with brand new top of the line appliances. The refrigerator and microwave were even newly replaced a few months ago. The queen sized bedroom is comfy and inviting with an oversized window facing north and a custom built home office, offering both form and function.

The apartment transfers with dedicated storage in the basement and there is room for bikes too. Not to be missed, the common roof deck provides residents with stunning views of Manhattan, the ultimate setting for an evening soiree.Residents of the building benefit from a recently completed gym which is included in the maintenance. For pets, the board will allow up to two dogs with approval.
